"Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant searching for the fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and sell all that he has and buys it" (Mt. 12.44: 52)
WELLNESS - an approache to living that emphasizes the whole person, integrating the body, mind, and spirit; and the appreciation that everything that you do, think, and feel and believe has an impact on your state of health.
A sound mind in a sound body and spirit. (MEN SANA EN CORPORE SANO ET ESPIRITU)
A healthy body, healthy ind, should be the Christian's goal; But it is more important still to exercise the spirit. (Bosch)
The power of the psychospiritual healing: Even if the body is sick, the mind and the spirit can still be well.
WELLNESS is he best gift we can give for ourselves and our loved ones.
With WELLNESS, we can breeze through life as Elderly Citizens:
SEXAGENARIAN 60+ Very Young Elderly
SEPTUAGENARIAN 70+ Young elderly
OCTOGENARIAN 80+ Old Elderly
NONAGENARIAN 90+ Very old elderly
CENTENARIAN 100+ Very very old elderly
It does not matter to be lelderly for as long as being elderly still matters to the society.
Age is really all about mind over matter.
If you dont mind, it does not really matter (George Bernard)
Growing old is like climbing a mountain. The higher you get, the more tired and breathless you become,. But your view becomes much more more extensive. As we grow older, we lose the drive in trying to be perfect. We realize it is more important to be human and happy than be perfect. (Elpidio L. Ibanez)
Happiness is a combination of an overall satisfaction with one's life and having more positive emotions (such as joy, awe and love) THAN NEGATIVE EMOTIONS (such as anger, anxiety, and fear) IN OUR DAILY LIVES.
A happy life leads to a long life (Deepak Chopra)
Money is not everything. Happinesss is.
To be well, you must be happy.
THERE IS NO WAY TO WELLNESS. WELLNESS IS THE WAY."
